| About Me | I love my life! I'm proud of who I am, and more than anything in the world, I'm most proud of my amazing baby. She is everything I've ever dreamed of, with more strength, bravery, and determination than I ever imagined a little person to be capable of. Despite the trials, tribulations, heartaches, and unforeseeable battles life has challenged us with, they're all still overshadowed by the victories, milestones, happiness, and achievements that have made life so worth fighting for. Through the good times and the bad, there has always been one blessing that has remained unfailing in my life, and that is the love of my family, my friends, and the unconditional love of my baby. Their love brightens even the darkest of times, even through those that seemed hopeless. I have learned that nothing is insurmountable when I have the steadfast support of the ones closest to my heart. However, I've also learned that, no matter what you do or who you try to please, you will inevitably encounter a person or people in life that are so unhappy with their own lives, they will continually create drama and conflict to deflect the attention away from their shortcomings, and to make themselves feel more worthy. It is a shame to watch these people waste the life God has given them on living in a past that cannot be changed, accusing, defaming, and invading the privacy of others, only because they have nothing else to do but blame the world. They refuse to take responsibility for the miserable ramifications of decisions they've made, instead attaching themselves like parasites onto the lives of strangers, in a fruitless attempt to make someone else as pitiful and shallow as they are. These people feel as if they have been short changed in life, and will seek out sympathy and undeserved praise for things that a normal person would take in stride. Do not give them a moment of your emotions. The battle they are fighting is not with you, it is within themselves. Don't worry about how much effort they are putting in to trying to find faults in your life, and making up preposterous lies to avoid facing their own insecurities. They seem not to grasp that trying to harm and exact revenge on others because they feel cheated and harmed themselves is not the way a self-loving, self-confident individual copes with their anger. Such is the anger and hatred that is so painfully obvious in all eyes but theirs. Remember these words of wisdom, and take heed of those who refuse to accept culpability for the poor choices they have made. Instead they blame everyone else in their life for their failures and their desolation. Remember that vengeful rumors are created by by people who hate their own existence. These tales will be carried only by fools, and accepted solely by those blind enough not to realize they are being duped. Thus, counting other people's sins does not make you a saint, it makes you a coward too fearful to face your own harsh reality. Be wary of those who protest too loudly about others, as seeking out attention and revenge means creating whatever fallacies necessary to boost their self- worth. One doesn't need to disrespect, lie, and insult others just to hold their ground. If they do, it only shows how shaky their true position is. As is such, every time you throw dirt, you lose more of your own crumbling ground. You must remind yourself to consider the underlying source and beware of the half-truth. Chances are, you have gotten hold of the wrong half. After, of course, it is disseminated by someone who assumes that the world is made up of easily fooled sheep, those who won't question the validity of the rubbish presented to them and labelled as being true and correct. People only try to bring up your past when your present and future looks brighter than theirs. They will do and say anything to destroy the beauty you have that is so painfully lacking in their lives. Never take things personally, and never, ever let it get to you. What people say about you is a reflection of themselves, not you. If one is content and happy with themselves and their lives, they will not worry about what other people are doing. Nothing drives a hateful person crazier than seeing someone living life as happily as they can, rising above the obstacles in their way, and conquering the adversities the world contains. Strong, confident people never try to put others down, they will try to help lift them up. If they are trying to drag you down, it only means you are above them. People who are quick to judge you are unfailingly slow to correct themselves, just as the ones who make you the focus of their life means they have nothing noteworthy of their own. What they say is a reflection of themselves, people who are terrified of their own existence, littered with failures, shortcomings, and grudges. Armed with a plethora of animosity, and feeling like they have been ignored by society, they would rather harm strangers on any level possible than to go on unrecognized. The more anger you hold in your heart about the past, the less capable you are of living in the present. Thankfully, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. When you know your own worth, no one can make you feel worthless. Leave people to their own judgments. They cannot harm you. It is their own misunderstanding and inability to seek out the truth that is faulty, not yours. Don't ever let anyone dull your sparkle, and never be ashamed of the scars that you bear from a life you were too strong to let hurt you. Happiness is a choice. Thank your parents for giving you life, and for the sacrifices they made to provide for you. Love them unreservedly, for they too have felt the same love that blossomed inside you when you held your baby in your arms for the first time, and gazed at the perfect little miracle you created. You are the magnum opus of your parents, just as your child is to you. Understand that your parents have greater wisdom than you, for they have made the same mistakes you have, and felt the same joys and sorrows of life that you have. Respect them for sharing their wisdom with you, and for giving you the wings you have used to fly in whichever direction the Lord has chosen to be your path. Teach your babies to love, laugh, to forgive, to see the beauty and fascination in all the perfections God created, and to count their many blessings no matter how small. Teach them to rise above the negativity and find the silver lining in every cloud. Help them to understand how to learn from their mistakes, and use them as learning experiences instead of regret. Moreover, teach them to give their best, even if they will receive nothing in return. Most of all, never, ever stop encouraging them, praising them, and telling them how special they are. Life is about seizing each and every day the Lord has blessed you with. It is about loving, respecting, and supporting those who are important to you, and even those who aren't. If you love yourself for who you are and how far you've come, no person in this world, no matter ho...(read more) |
